Design Concept

The interior design team envisaged a community-focused hub where occupants are part of a vibrant, social environment, with areas for quiet focus when they need a change of pace. The lighting scheme shapes this sense of energy and fluidity. Creative lighting features elevate the brand experience, while balanced layers of direct and indirect illumination create atmosphere, character and cohesion.

Key Lighting Solutions

Bespoke lighting installations

A series of multicoloured ceiling installations define the reception and shared spaces. Composed of sweeping curves of fabric with metallic edging, each sculptural element features integrated lines of light, designed to add definition to the soft colourways and sheer material.

Patterns of light

Graphic ceiling elements with geometric details hover above the workstations and breakout areas, a unifying motif that brings visual harmony to the focused work zones. Halos of light highlight each aperture, producing a rhythmic pattern of light along the otherwise muted surface.

Personalised task lighting 

A simple desk light sits at each workstation for task illumination. This low-level, adaptable layer enhances visual comfort while allowing occupants to tailor the mood and feel of their immediate surroundings.

Boardroom and meeting suite illumination 

Balanced layers of ambient and accent illumination elevate both the functionality and atmosphere of the meeting suites and boardrooms. Indirect layers of light enhance the surfaces and vertical planes, ensuring optimum facial recognition and functionality.

Moments of softness 

In the kitchen and café spaces, the lighting adopts a more residential character. Indirect illumination concealed within the ceilings, walls and joinery evokes warmth and intimacy to encourage relaxation. Elsewhere in the casual seating areas, clusters of decorative pendants soften the mood.
